Big fan of the new map, can't wait to see the boss. 

But does anyone else feel like despite getting weapon and class perks that prevent knock backs from heavy hits... literally every heavy hit knocks me back. Gun strikes I will say went off seemlessly with that perk or prestige thingy... but every contested charged up thunder hammer slam almost always seems to go the tyranids way. I also feel like balanced weapons don't block or parry as well as a full block or fencing weapon. 

Played new map twice... breezed through a ruthless w/ my vanguard... really seemed like I had to grind some parts w/ assault balanced thunder hammer... also it doesn't feel very jet packy that a vanguard can graple launcher up to fight enemies on a second story but the jet back hits a hard cut off. It's so much weaker than the storyline campaign that it feels quite bad. 

Also perfect doge w/ jet pack is not something i really want to do personally... I'd rather just dash and start swinging at the enemies flank... I want to save those jet pack charges for a sweet ground pound from frickin high up in the air!

Hopefully we can have a nice powerful blood angel assault marine? 

appreciate you guys

"hyperarmor" is not actually a 100% knockbackimmunity. it will prevent knockback from smaller hits, turn the tyranid warrior whip pull into a small stagger, but large hits like a carnifex rampaging through you or simply a tyranid warrior hitting you with 2 swords (generally speaking all orange attacks, some hits that are parryable as well) will knock you down all the same. 

also it "stacks" with bulwarks shield, so if you have the signature perk that gives you "hyperarmor" as long as you have any armor left you shielding from something like a venom cannon shot or a unblockable attack will not break your shield and you will just walk through it. 

its not actual knockback-immunity but still arguably the best defensive layer in the game. i pick it every time its a option.
